Open call: ESNSurvey team

The ESNSurvey is one of the most essential and oldest international projects of ESN. It has been giving ESN a lot of recognition and clout. It is entirely based on volunteer work of the ESNSurvey team and the vast resources of the ESN network. Deadline: 31st of August, 23:59 CET

• Designing a full research project in an international team
• Conducting a Europe-wide research
• Improving your academic writing skills in English
• Educing policy recommendations from research outcomes
